Vincenzo Montella feels victory over Austria Wien in the Europa League will allow AC Milan to address their tumultuous Serie A form.

The Rossoneri can make certain of qualification from Europa League Group D with a game to spare by winning at San Siro on Thursday, before shifting their attention to the visit of Torino in the league on Sunday.

Milan are seventh in the Serie A table, seven points behind sixth-placed Sampdoria, and Montella is looking forward to being able to focus on improving their domestic campaign.

"It's true that we need results," he told a press conference.

"We have an important opportunity to confirm first place. It would allow us to concentrate more on the league.

"We have a chance to move forward. It's not just an achievement but an objective that we want a lot.

"In Italy, there are no easy games, but we'll face all the teams that are below us in the table, and there are plenty of possibilities for us to get closer to our objectives."
